Abstract
An implant for the jaw includes an implant body, to be fixed without bone cement, a bed made of plastics material and an implant support for receiving the suprastructure. In order to reduce the specific load on the bone the implant body is provided with support ribs, which have the profile of a bone screw. The bed, providing a flexible layer between the implant body and support is frusto-conical towards its lower end and is spread by the implant support, when said support is screwed in. This construction provides for secure anchorage of the implant body into the bone as well as of the bed and the implant support into the implant body.
